From the reviews:
"This unique book attempts to briefly review the clinical manifestations and evolution of a few uncommon, mostly very rare pulmonary disorders, some of which even subspecialist pulmonologists rarely or never encounter during their careers. ... The editors derive insight and input from contributors of eclectic knowledge and experience. ... Certainly, the audience would be limited to basic scientists and a modicum of clinicians with unique interests. ... The book achieves its likely intended goals well. ... a potentially useful addition to my medical library." (Joel C. Seidman, Doody's Review Service, July, 2010)
